Germany announced today (13 August 2025) that it will fund a $500 million package of military equipment and munitions for Ukraine sourced from the United States, under NATO's new Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) initiative. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte welcomed the announcement as a strong demonstration of Germany's enduring commitment to Ukraine's defence.
"I commend Germany for stepping up once again. This delivery will help Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression," said the Secretary General. "Germany is the largest European contributor of military aid to Ukraine, and today's announcement further underlines its commitment to help the Ukrainian people defend their freedom and sovereignty," he added.
Germany's contribution under the PURL initiative follows earlier announcements by the Netherlands, and a joint pledge from Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Each package is valued at around $500 million, and is designed to meet Ukraine's most urgent operational requirements with equipment and munitions sourced from U.S. stockpiles.
